Lenin led the revolution. When he returned from switzerland, he inspired the masses to revolt against the Burgeoise. Also, he inspired soldiers to convert to the cause. Thus, he was a major influence in the revolution. Partly right. In fact Russia had threee revolutions to deal with. 1905 - after a enormous defeat against Japan (the entire navy was lost) the Tsar had to deal with the Bolsjewist and Mensjewist party who took over control over several cities. The revolution was surpressed, and Nikolai II promised to reform the country. This didn't happen though and in February 1917, nikolai II was abducted and a temporary government was formed. Main people in this government were anton Kerenski (a former journalist if I'm not mistaken) and Prince Llov (a liberal) Allthough thy tried to reform the country, they didn't succeed to prevent the bolsjewiki to overthrow this government in november 1917 (done by Lenin, trotski and Stalin). Lenin took control over the government. A bit later, the civil war started which lasted for three years (1917 - 1920) eventually won by Lenin and his frieds (the jew Trotsky was the main architect to victory here). Since then, propaganda stated only one heroic revolution took place in 1917. The truth is, that Lenin just entered the room and said something like. Gentlemen, we take over control. It seems as if WWI had just as much responsibility for the Oct. Revolution as the Bolsheviks did. The autocracy surely would've retained power without entrence into the war. The situation in Russia by 1917 had become very unsatisfactory and Lenins return to the coutry with the help of the Germans was vital. This is not because of Lenins major influence on the revolution but his presence in a moment of possible change to the government, the war played a big part but it was Lenin who utalised the situation to his advantage and he knew when the time had come for a possible Bolshevik take over.

There were two revolutions in Russia in the early 20th century1905 and 1917

1905 - Mass unrest and discontent in Russia led to Tsar Nicholas II disclaiming his absolute autocratic power by introducing Dumas in the October Manifesto. After 4 Dumas proved unsuccessful the Tsar regained his power until 1917, when the Bolsheviks (left wing political party) overthrew the Tsar and then murdered the last of the Romanov's in July 1918. Their dynasty ended thus leaving Russia in Communism.

Vladimir Lenin did not die in the Russian Revolution. He survived not only the revolution but also the following Russian civil War, which ended in 1920. Lenin died in 1924 of natural causes after suffering three strokes beginning in 1922.

At the time of the revolution, the Russian Empire still was using the ancient Julian calendar, which had been discarded some 150 years earlier by most Western countries. The result was that each day in Russia was dated 13 days earlier than the same day in the West.

According to the old calendar, the date of the Bolshevik revolution was October 25. But according to the new Gregorian calendar, the date actually was November 7.

Only after the Bolsheviks established the Soviet Union did the country adopt the new calendar. So it was the Bolsheviks themselves who were responsible for changing the date of their October Revolution of October 25 to the national celebration November 7.

The revolution started because no one in Russian was satisfied with the Tsar. He wasn't very good at ruling and many soldiers were dying in WWI. He went on the front to try and help his soldiers, but he only made it worse. The soldiers weren't given enough training, medical care, weapons, or even food. Also Russia's economy was very undeveloped compared to other countries. The people were tired of his rule and forced him to abdicate. Finally Lenin and his Bolshevik party take control of Russia and become the new government. Civil War then erupted between the Red Army (those fighting for communism) and the white army (those who wanted the rule of the Tsar to continue. The Red Army won since it gained all of the support from the peasant who wanted a classless society.

Lenin and the Bolsheviks staged a military coup rather than a true revolution on October 25, 1917 to take power away from the Russian Provisional Government. They seized important strategic installations in Petrograd (St. Petersburg), Moscow and other important cities. They railway stations so that troops could not be moved to fight the Bolsheviks. They seized telegraph and telephone centers so that the Provisional Government could not communicate with forces loyal to them. They had already gotten support from Russia's military forces who refused to take action against the Bolshevik takeover. These actions made the Provisional Government unable to defend itself and the Bolsheviks walked into the Winter Palace and arrested the members of the Provisional Government with hardly a shot fired. They then announced to the country that they were now in charge.

Lack of food and Bad leadership.

The Russian Revolution was caused by several major factors:

1. The partial industrialization of Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which created an urban working class in places like St. Petersburg and Moscow that could organize against its exploitation through unions and workers councils(known as 'the soviets'). This enabled the workers to work together much more effectively against their bosses then the scattered, isolated, and thus largely de-politicized peasantry. The cities were also connected via trade and communication to the outside world, where intellectuals and workers alike had access to revolutionary ideas from western Europe such as Marxism.

2. The desperate poverty and gross inequality that marked Russian society created a deep well of discontent. The czar and the aristocracy, as well as Russia's capitalist class, lived in opulent luxury in palaces such as the Hermitage while most Russians lived in medieval conditions. In the countryside, most farmers still used wooden plow. Hundreds of thousands died from epidemics on a regular basis. 1/3 of all Russian babies died before their first birthday.

3. The entry of Russia into World War I brought all the class tensions of Russian society to a boiling point, especially when Russia's badly equipped and led army suffered a series of disastrous defeats. Food riots broke out in Russia's major cities and the countryside. The army and navy began to mutiny against a government they had no desire to fight and die for.

4. The czar of Russia, Nicholas II, was a weak and indecisive leader. He went back and forth between making concessions to his people and then opting for repressive measures. Therefore, he both allowed breathing space for a revolutionary movement to develop while creating fresh grievances that strengthened the political forces against him. Most importantly though, he was attempting to reform a corrupt, repressive, outdated system that could not be reformed at all.

5. Although many different groups were opposed to the czar, the Russian revolution was successful because the group that ended up leading it, the Bolsheviks, were dedicated, well-organized, and well-led.

Because, during most of the period when the colonies were being founded and growing, England wasn't actually doing too much to try to govern them. England was months away by sailing ship, and was often distracted by foreign wars and a civil war and two revolutions of its own. thus the colonies were largely left alone and developed their own systems of government which were far more democratic than England's. In the 1760's though, when England had settled its own internal troubles and finally settled matters with France, it began passing laws, especially taxes, which supposedly were enforceable in the colonies. That was not the way things had ever been done before. The colonies had always been loyal to and supportive of the king, but they had made their own laws, and taxes, in their own legislatures, the British Parliament had generally not tried to legislate for them. Thus, when it did try to do so, especially trying to tax them, the colonists became very angry and afraid because since they had no representatives in the Parliament, there was no one there to protect their rights. They began protesting the Parliament's actions. Parliament responded by gradually passing harsher and harsher laws to make the colonists obey. This just confirmed the colonists fears about the threat to their liberties. Finally, open warfare and outright rebellion broke out. When the colonists realized that the king was on Parliament's side and not their own, they decided they wanted independence. So, the revolution occurred in the late 18th century because that was when England began passing laws that sought to change the nature of the relationship between the colonies and the mother country that had always existed up to that time.Michael Montagne

Causes 1. In February 1917 there were shortages of bread in Petrograd and prices were very high. 2. Tsar Nicholas II was weak and did not keep his promises. 3. The effects of the First World War on the Russian army. 4. In Russia there were big differences between rich and poor. 5. The Russian Parliament (the Duma), which was set up in 1906, was not given any real power. The Tsar still ruled as an autocrat (like a dictator).

The imbalance, which was caused by aristocracy in a shortest form. Not really differ from French Revolution in causes. The difference between those two is French was made by burgoise against aristocracy, in Russia it was farmers, villagers, countrymen etc.

The Russian Civil War must be distinguished from the Russian Revolutions of 1917. They are not the same; therefore their causes are not the same. The Civil War was caused because Lenin and his Bolsheviks took over the government from the Russian Provisional Government and announced that they were now in power. The Bolshevik party did not represent the population of Russia. Many people, including some members of the military, the former government and aristocracy were unhappy with the Bolshevik take over because they did not agree with all of its principles. A large portion of this opposition consisted of the Russian Army under the leadership of generals who were opposed to the Bolsheviks.

The Bolsheviks did not have a legitimate claim to the right to govern, because they were a small proportion of the populace; therefore many people opposed their take over. This opposition coalesced into a force determined to oust the Bolsheviks and return the government to the Provisional Government. Lenin had created an armed force called the Red Guard, which became the Red Army. The opposition forces became known as the White Army and White Russians. The two sides could never come to an agreement on which side should rule and the Russian Civil War was on.

Revolutions are most likely to occur when the majority of a nation's population is disatisfied with its governing body. It occurs more frequently when the people who support radical change have the money, manpower, and weapons to fufill their beliefs.

During the February Revolution, Vladimir Lenin had been living in exile in Switzerland. Though historians disagree about specifics, they concur that the government of Germanydeliberately facilitated Lenin's return to his homeland in the spring of 1917. Without question, the German leadership did so with the intent of destabilizing Russia. The Germans provided Lenin with a guarded train that took him as far as the Baltic coast, from which he traveled by boat to Sweden, then on to Russia by train. There is also evidence that Germany funded the Bolshevik Party, though historians disagree over how much money they actually contributed.

The main aims of the founders, post revolution were to set up a system of government that would allow wealthy white land owners like themselves to continue to prosper. Of course, the establishment of such a government would help Americans at all levels to some degree, and such a government would also allow for more direct input and control by the people. Or at least certain groups of people. It has, however, worked out remarkably well.
